The 1900 Delhi Durbar Records

I spent the morning reading the accounts of the 1900 Delhi Durbar in the India Office Records at the British Library. The specific administrative record of the planning for the Durbar is the record of the colonial administration at its most ceremonially elaborate: the logistical details of the processions, the guest lists, the precedence questions whose resolution required months of correspondence, and the specific cost accounting that Parliament required. The column notes the precedence questions because they are the most revealing document of how the colonial hierarchy understood itself.
